When you discover that a movie in your target language will be shown on your TV movie channel.You record it, so you can replay parts that you don't get right away, as well as to rehear the parts you do understand. You settle down and get comfortable, the excitement is building as it begins to play and then-bummer! It has been dubbed into English :-(

...when you refuse to watch a movie in anything but the original language it was made in; even if you don't speak it... ...when watching a dubbed film is registered in your mind as "ruining a movie" and it makes you a bit moody for the rest of the day. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

...when you find an article in the English Wikipedia that's too short, so you start clicking all the other languages you can understand until you find something more informative.

Sometimes I do the opposite too. If I only want a short explanation of a subject and the Wikipedia article I'm looking at is long and meandering, I'll search through the other language versions I can understand for a short and concise article on the subject. 1 person has voted this message useful |
